Melanin Model Exploration


Melanin has a lot of similarities with proteins, and, while not technically a protein itself, it is made by proteins.  Different versions of the proteins that make melanin can make different forms of the pigment.  Natural human hair is colored by 2 forms of melanin: pheomelanin and eumelanin.  Use the model to see which types of melanin are in which hair colors (and how much of each is there).
